To my mind, one of the most visually appealing LPR offerings from any manufacturer is the Firebird SST from Squirrel Works. It never fails to draw favorable comment from any bystanders who see it. This last Saturday was no exception and Lindsey, the girl I shanghaied to shag rockets asked me to fly it. I was glad to oblige.

I prepped the Firebird with a long burning Quest C6-3 and took it out to the pad. I had to wait while others made their hookups and launched but that was fine because it was still drawing favorable reviews from those present.
